Well sometimes you never know where your day might take you. I thought I’d be pottering around the house and water blasting the moss off the concrete outside, but instead I ended up exploring this beautiful area. Looking forward to bringing our Finlay here in the near future with his Hippocampe Wheelchair. The shore is easy to access along with a nice easy wheel into the crystal clear sea. The Bay borders onto the Hunua Ranges Regional Park too with lots of walking tracks and trails to explore. . . Beautiful fertile countryside to drive through to get here, only 17km from South Auckland. A real horse lovers paradise. . . So looking forward to checking out the accessibility around the Park itself on our return. I’ve also heard the Clevedon-Kawakawa Famers Market is worth a visit too on a Sunday. . . #newzealand #accessforall #wheelchair #hippocampewheelchair #auckland #accessibility #familytravel #disability #ability #travelforall #barrierfree #cerebralpalsykids #regionalparks #powerchair #accessiblebeaches #accessiblewalks #oysters
Well it’s been slow going getting ‘out and about’ since our Finlay broke his leg. Low bone density is going to be a new challenge without our usual standing transfers. Transportable hoist and a new adapted vehicle is on our high list of priorities. However, today we finally went out into our local community to smell and touch the nature. Our Barley (the dog) returning to Finlay’s side. . . We are looking forward to helping Finlay get stronger again. His leg spasms have become aggressive and painful so the Physio/rehab period is going to be a slow and painful one. . . . However, despite this Finlay’s need to get back into nature is apparent. So we are busy making some plans on where we can venture out to. Things are on the up and we are so looking forward to assessing some fantastic #accessiblewalks for you in our blog- #onwardandupward ♿️✅ . . #rehab #lowbonedensity #standingtransfers #familycaregivers #travelbloggers #accessforall #accessibility #travelforall #life #cerebralpalsy #wheelchair #accessibletravel #accessiblewalks #newzealand #disability

is in Croatia! . Checking out wheelchair accessibility wherever we go! . . Views of the old town of Dubrovnik are wheelchair accessible via cable car. We love the fact you could easily wheel onto the cable car to take in the stunning vistas of this beautiful historic city. Mobility parking at its entrance or take a public bus with ramp access to where you get on. Ramping was easy wheel on ♿️✅ . . 🇭🇷 Croatia . . #accessforall #accessibletourism #wheelchairtravel #wheelchairlife #accessibletravel #accessiblecroatia #travelforall #croatia #wheelchair #accessibility #travelwithoutlimits #barrierfreetravel #kiwistravel #accessibleviews #barrierfree #dubrovnik
A broken leg is cramping our travelling style ♿️🤕🚑 . Barriers to getting out and about can come in all shapes and sizes. For the last two, nearly three weeks, it’s been about a transfer that went terribly wrong. Resulting in a full leg cast for four weeks then below knee for a further two. . . . #brokenleg #lowbonedensity #hospital #starshiphospital @aucklanddhb it would be nice to have something like a changing place so we could have a shower during our long term stay. @changing.spaces #universaldesign #wheelchairtravel #wheelchairlife #cerebralpalsykids #wheelchair #occupationaltherapy #physicaltherapy #disability #travelwithoutlimits #disabilityawareness
